Freefrom Clutter

So its been a very busy few months helping clients get their homes decluttered, organised and functioning how they want it. My clients put in as much effort as I do when we are decluttering or organising.💪 By the end of a 3 hour session we both feel satisfied, and the results quite literally are amazing!🤭
Just having someone there to help makes all the difference - moving you from being STUCK to achieving RESULTS.🙌🙌

Last night I was the guest speaker at the Young Ladies Group in Aghadrumsee. We had a great evening of discussion around decluttering and organising.
As we all know, mums are super busy and their time is so precious, so I gave them a really simple and easy way to remember how to stay organised.

🔺LIKE WITH LIKE - Group ALL similar items together.
This reduces the number of places you need to look when you're searching for something, and also makes it easy to see at a glance how much of something you have.

🔺A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE
This helps you lay your hands on what you need when you need it. You’ll know exactly where your stuff is - it can only either be in it's home or being used.

🔺ONE IN - ONE OUT
When you buy something new, let go of something old. Think before you buy.

This really does work if you put it into practice.

When I get a call from a client, they usually say to me that they feel embarrassed about the state of their home. I assure them that I will never judge them or their situation. I understand that there are many reasons why things can become overwhelming, very quickly, leading to a cluttered home?
Here are just a few:
Depression - low energy, lack of motivation and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can get in the way of doing the daily tasks necessary to keep on top of things, so the house gradually gets cluttered.

ADHD - difficulty staying focused on tasks or easily distracted by things going on around them and by their own thoughts. This makes it difficult to engage in prolonged sorting and decluttering, so they give up.

Anxiety Disorders - feeling chronically worried and on edge, tired and cranky and difficulty concentrating. So they feel overwhelmed at the thought of even getting started.

I find that whenever we do the work together, my lovely clients find the motivation and the energy to get the job done.🙌

Over the past 4 years I have worked with many people who have a problem with Hoarding. It's difficult, particularly for family members, to understand why their loved one keeps so much stuff.
There are many reasons why people Hoard.
One of the reasons is, beliefs about possessions as a source of IDENTITY. Their possessions give them a SENSE OF SELF, as if they are defined by what they own.

For example: Mary got a strong sense of identity from her wardrobe of clothes and her gift collection. She thought about where she could wear her clothes, people who would love her gifts, but the clothes were never worn and the gifts were never given! Much of the pleasure Mary got from her possessions was how they made her FEEL ABOUT HERSELF and the IDEAS she had about the person she wanted to be.
It’s hard to let go of your items when it feels like your letting go of your IDENTITY!

So compassion, understanding and patience are so necessary when helping someone who hoards.
As a life coach I take people through a process of helping them understand their particular issues under the clutter and practically help them get Free From Clutter.

Do you have a wardrobe FULL OF CLOTHES and NOTHING TO WEAR!
If you don't wear it, if you can't wear it, or if you haven't worn it in the past two years, it's time to LET IT GO!
Ask yourself:
💟Have I worn this item in the last two years? If not - LET IT GO!
💟Does this go with anything else I own? If not - LET IT GO!
💟Has this item lost it's shape (stretched or shrunk) or has the colour faded? If it has - LET IT GO!
💟Am I waiting to lose or gain weight before I can fit into this item again? If yes - LET IT GO!
💟Am I keeping this item because it was an expensive impulse purchase? If yes - LET IT GO! or SELL IT!
You will feel so much better when you LET THEM GO.

🧸GETTING THE NEST READY🧸
Yesterday I worked with a Mum who is expecting her 4th baby very soon. Our first job was to declutter and organise the other children's bedrooms, and then prepare the nursery. I love working with expectant Mums as I know how important it is to feel organised and ready for the baby's arrival. A couple more sessions and we'll be done.💕

💟EMPTYING THE NEST💟
Then last night I talked to a group of women about the importance of decluttering and organising our homes as we age.
We looked at the 5 most common reasons we find it difficult to let go of our items.
1. Keeping items “just in case”
2. Feeling guilty for getting rid of things we spent a lot of money on.
3. Feeling guilty or obligated to keep an item
4. Struggling to let go of sentimental items
5. Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work to declutter or not even knowing where to start!
We had some great conversations around these topics and I gave some tips and strategies they could use to help with decluttering and organising.😄

🔸🔸Too much Clutter🔸🔸
The number one reason people don't overcome their problem of too much clutter is that they don't spend the time needed to work on the problem.
Having too much stuff is not just a HOUSE problem, it's a PERSON problem!
Unless there are changes in how you think, feel and act - that is, alter the way you relate to your possessions - the problem of too much clutter will remain.
I offer Coaching alongside practical decluttering to help individuals understand the reasons why they acquire too much stuff and why they find it hard to let go of it.
I have helped so many people with their decluttering journey.
